GlossaryCOVID-19 vaccine

medical intervention to provide immunity against the coronavirus

The COVID-19 vaccine, also known as the coronavirus vaccine or SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, is a medical intervention designed to provide immunity against the virus responsible for COVID-19. These vaccines work by stimulating the body's immune system to recognize and fight the virus, typically using mRNA technology, viral vectors, or inactivated virus particles. They have been crucial in reducing the spread of the virus and the severity of the disease.
